 | | What sort of LEGO-related printed materials do you collect?
|
|
As part of a project I'm currently working on I have been buying/collecting a few different printed items related to LEGO. Some are just things like old Idea books I never had, or were released when I wasn't actively involved in LEGO. Some are old (...) (20 years ago, 27-Oct-04, to lugnet.books, lugnet.inst)

(...) Yes, I find the idea books great, and have many of them, including the 4 technic ones, and 7777. I also went looking this year for "The Robot Book" by 1986 by Richard Paswon. In the back of the book it has a variety of instructions for Lego (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.books, lugnet.inst)

(...) Allan - I've been waiting to get the 'The World of LEGO Toys' book too. I hear it is pretty good. Personally, I collect idea books (the older the better) and anything I can find from the 1960's and 1950's (catalogs, pamphlets, etc). I don't (...)

(...) If you follow the link above you can read my review of it on Amazon. It is a beautiful book to look at. Probably more true insight into the company than was offered by the Ultimate LEGO Book. The writing is good, but tends to fall on the side (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.books, lugnet.inst)

(...) I think "The World of LEGO Toys" is an excellent book--I have a hard covered edition that's extremely well read--I leave it on my coffee table usually (it's a 'coffee table' book) and many guest just pick it up and peruse. As well, a long time (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.books, lugnet.inst)

(...) I think I got lucky and picked up a near new condition paperback copy for around $12 U.S. earlier this year. I see now on Amazon that that same version goes for around $25. And hardcover versions are down-right pricey! :) (...) Have you (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.books, lugnet.inst)

Hello! I collect - Instructions for sets I own. I only consider a set complete if I have original instructions for it. If I get by chance instructions for sets that I don't own I keep them, though. You never know if you'll need them once... - Idea (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.books, lugnet.inst)

(...) G'day, Well...I collect all sorts of Instructions and "FLUBBER" [1]. At present I have about a dozen folders full of instructions (heading for 1000 or so...I don't have all the sets myself, but I'm working on it.) including variations (...)
